Treats and Goodies!

Treat Bag can be obtained via Trick or Treating with the innkeeper of a friendly inn. If the innkeeper decides to give you a treat, he will award you a Treat Bag, which has a chance to contain a Flimsy Mask, Hallowed Wand, or candy. However, the innkeeper may instead opt to play a trick on you, typically shapeshifting you into a bat, cat, ghost or pirate. Once you have trick or treated on a character, you will gain the Tricked or Treated debuff which will prevent you from Trick or Treating for one hour.

A Crudely Wrapped Gift can be obtained after protecting a low level Alliance (Goldshire, Kharanos, or Azure Watch) or Horde (Razor Hill, Falconwing Square, or Brill) village from the Shade of the Horseman (see the Quests section below). The matrons located in these villages will ask for your aid in putting out fires in local buildings. When the Shade of the Horseman has been defeated, a large Jack-o-Lantern will appear on the ground that gives the quest Smash the Pumpkin (Alliance) which can be turned in at the nearby Matron. The Matron will reward you with a sum of gold and a Crudely Wrapped Gift, which can contain candy, masks, or even riding brooms!

The Headless Horseman is a level 80 boss that can be summoned in the Graveyard of Scarlet Monastery. This encounter can be completed easily by a decently-geared 5-man of level 80 players. The quest to summon the Headless Horseman can only be completed once per day, per person. For more information check out the section below!

Locations

Northrend: Will be updated! :) Just check every inn you come across (though there is no achievement for them at this time)!

Quests

Horde Quests

Masked Orphan MatronStart:Orc CommonerEnd:Masked Orphan MatronThis quest is just a breadcrumb quest intended to lead you to a Masked Orphan Matron located at one of the low level Horde villages, either Razor Hill, Falconwing Square, or Brill. This quest does not need to be completed in order to take the Matron's other quests.

Fire TrainingStart & End:Masked Orphan MatronThis quest can be started in either Razor Hill (Durotar), Falconwing Square (Eversong Woods) or Brill (Tirisfal Glades), but only completed once, at a single location. The Matron will direct you to a nearby water barrel from which you can collect Water Bucket that can be thrown at flames. There will be test fires that you can put out by simply 'using' the bucket and aiming at the fires. When you have successfully hit 5 fires, return to the Matron for your reward.

"Let the Fires Come!" / Stop the Fires!Start & End:Masked Orphan MatronThe availability of this daily quest is situational - if the village you are in is not yet under attack by the Shade of the Horseman, the Matron will offer "Let the Fires Come!" which you cannot complete until the village is under attack. However, if you first speak to the Matron while the village is currently under attack, she will instead offer Stop the Fires!, which is the same quest basically with just a different title. Simply aid in extinguishing all of the fires the Shade has started, then speak to the Matron. This is a daily quest.

Hallow's End Treats for Spoops!Start & End:SpoopsThis quest asks that you collect a variety of holiday treats from the innkeepers of major faction cities.

Stinking Up SouthshoreStart & End:Darkcaller YankaThis quest requires "sneaking" into Southshore and throwing stink bombs into the middle of town. Not an incredibly difficult quest, though can be quite challenging to lower leveled players. Best to group with higher levels and watch out for guards!

The Headless Horseman

The Headless Horseman is a level 75 5-man boss that can be summoned via a daily quest in the Graveyard of Scarlet Monastery. He drops epic-quality equipment and rare, seasonal items.

The quest The Headless Horseman (The Headless Horseman) will lead players to the Graveyard of Scarlet Monastery, located in Tirisfal Glades. Upon reaching the pumpkin shrine, you will be able to obtain the quest Call the Headless Horseman. Accepting this quest will provide you the Dreary Candle which can be used nearby to summon the Headless Horseman. While this quest is not necessary to be able to summon and kill the boss, it will net you an additional summon (just for the first time it is completed). When this quest has been completed, a daily quest will then unlock which allows you to summon the Headless Horseman once per day. This quest is a daily quest, and as such can only be completed once per day, per person. If you have a five person party, each person can complete the quest to summon him one time and you could potentially do five runs, one after another. Even if you have killed the boss, as long as at least one person in your party is able to take the quest and summon him you'll have yet another chance at the helm, pet or mount!

Achievements

There are a total of 22 achievements that can be obtained during Hallow's End! While running about sporting hauntingly fun Hallow's End masks and gorging on candy, find time to earn some achievements and be awarded a cool player title - the Hallowed! Completeing the achievements required for will, of course, count towards and towards earning the beautiful Reins of the Violet Proto-Drake!

A Mask for All OccasionsCollect the 20 unique Flimsy Masks listed below.For this achievement, you must obtain every singleFlimsy Mask. This will be a very difficult achievement to complete and thankfully is not a requirement of Hallowed Be Thy Name. The Flimsy Masks are bind on pickup, so in order to try and obtain all of the masks you should Trick or Treat as often as possible. Since there are a total of 20 Flimsy Masks required for this achievement, and the masks are a random drop, you may not be able to complete this one at least until next Hallow's End. May luck be on your side!

Bring Me The Head of... Oh WaitKill the Headless Horseman.This achievement is pretty straight-forward - simply kill the Headless Horseman in Scarlet Monastery. Please note that you must be of level 75 or higher to summon him, though it may be possible to achieve this at a lower level with a party of higher level characters.

Check Your HeadUse Weighted Jack-o'-Lanterns to put pumpkin heads on each of the races listed below.For this achievement, you must use a Weighted Jack-o'-Lantern on at least one of every Alliance and Horde race. The Jack-o'-Lanterns can be looted from the Headless Horseman or received in the Crudely Wrapped Gift available after defeating the Headless Horseman in one of the low level villages as detailed above in the Quests section. They are also rewarded from the related daily quest.

G.N.E.R.D. RageEarn 50 honorable kills while under the influence of the G.N.E.R.D. buff. It's a slap in the face!For this achievement, earn 50 honorable kills (total) while buffed by the Hallow's End candy G.N.E.R.D.S.. The candy is a just small defense buff so the achievement is really just a silly pun.

The MasqueradeGet transformed by the Hallowed Wands listed below.For this achievement, you must be transformed by each specific costume Hallowed Wand. The 'Random' wand will not count towards the achievement. It is best to trade costumes with other players who have the ones you want!

Trick or Treat!Receive a handful of a candy from one of the Candy Buckets located in an inn.For this achievement, all you have to do is visit a single Candy Bucket located within any friendly inn and loot a handful of candy

Last year, Sinister Squashling and Hallowed Helm dropped from Treat bags, with a low chance of course. Can it be the same this year?

For the record, in case any of you were thinking yourself clever, trading the Hallowed Helm to another player will not count for them towards Sinister Calling. The helm must be looted, and the pet must be learned.

What? No special uniformity of icons this year?

Given the "luck" factor involved in some of these, and the time requirements to get some of them done, I find it a wonder if many people become the Hallowed. Pretty sure I won't since I can't get on line everyday this week.

Really wish they would add something to the effect of the drill that transports you to coren direbrew's room. It is extremely painful for Alliance to get to the headless horseman on our horde dominated server. Just tonight we had horde camping the boundary between W. plaguelands and trisfall glades. Then another 2 or 3 corpse runs near the scarlet monastery.

Because instance time was different than my server time we had to wait an extra hour. That means there were at the VERY LEAST 70 horde sitting right there outside of the SM portal. The only alliance that could get in were paladin bubblers. until finally HH was there.

Doing the "Tricks and Treats" achievements are excellent money makers. Doing all three of them completely will net you 311g and 61s by the end of it, so for players with multiple level 80 characters, this is time to make bank for practically nothing. Even taking out expenses for flight paths for ease, you'll still make around 300g per character, assuming level 80.

I've got three 80's that I plan on doing this on, so a new gain of 900g for maybe 2 hours of my time!

Also, camping has already begun in Tirisfal Glades on my server, lucky for me I play Horde. I managed to get a couple of my kills towards the GNERD Rage achievement by sitting outside SM for a few minutes and helping kill the Alliance players trying to get through.

I do agree that adding something to bring you straight to SM would be a wise choice. Perhaps another "mount" that would allow you and your party a flight into SM GY.

I'm peeved that winning a Sinister Squashling (rare drop) is part of the Hallowed achieve. So only a lucky few can get the title and subsequently the Violet Proto-drake?A fun holiday turned sour--nice work, Blizz.

The Squashling drops from the Trick or Treat bags too, they have been since last year.

It's not that rare, our group got 2 last night (killed 5 times) and after that one of us got it from the treat bag.

Anyone else think they need to up the drop rate on these tooth picks since they're required for the meta? I mean sure, it's only been a few hours, but I tried about 100 times last year for the tooth pick and didn't see one and this year I still haven't seen one...

Went trick or treating and got shapeshifted into a tiny red demon.That makes it at least one new shape this year. Maybe there is some more...

Ooh yea,finally.Ever since WotLK came out,i found it a shame that I couldn't get that helm and sword ( my only lv 70 at that time was a druid).Looks like I can finally do that maniacal laugh while summoning pumpkin soldiers >:)
